Videos of Oct. 7 Massacre Show Hamas Terrorists Enjoying Themselves
(Washington Post) Charles Lane - On Monday, the Israeli Embassy hosted a screening of a 46-minute video about Hamas' Oct. 7 rampage, compiled from cellphones, dash cams, GoPros and social media accounts of victims, perpetrators and first-responders. The film mainly reinforces what is already known about these atrocities and cannot be denied or minimized by any decent person. What was revelatory - what you really do have to see and hear to believe - is the attitude of the terrorists. They are having the time of their lives. Some whoop with delight over dead civilians lying on a highway. A team of gunmen brings a dead Israeli soldier back to Gaza and stands triumphantly over his body, as a crowd spontaneously rushes forward to kick and stomp the corpse. Young, heavily armed members of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades pose for a video selfie, shouting in Arabic, "that's how it's done." The fact that the killers were clearly having so much fun is a special aspect of the massacre that must be reckoned with.
